Can you use one of the privacy handles with a dead bolt for an exterior door?

Nothing would stop you. The privacy handle can easily be unlocked from he outside, but the dead bolt would give the door a true lock.

Yes, I used it for the Dexter style locks. It just doesn't work well for dead bolts.

I used this for my security storm door. You need to have a solid door jamb for this to work properly.

probably not but there are several deadbolt locks at Lowes that you can configure to fit. You just have to do without the leds.

I had a door knob on my front door and this went right in the existing holes with one exception. The one screw at the very bottom of the handle needed to be drilled. I did it by hand with the screw that came with it but if I were to do it over again I would probably grab my drill and drill a small pilot hole. It does come with templates if you need to do any drilling but I think they are for brand new doors. If you don't have a dead bolt currently you will absolutely need a hole for that.

This lock can be used anywhere a regular deadbolt can be used, taking into account, of course, that the shape of this deadbolt lock is narrow and tall, not "puck-like." If the gate is a door, sure. If the gate is metal bars, maybe not the best application. You will also need a door knob. This is a lock, not a handle-lock. Read all the details before purchasing; and all the reviews.

No, I also used the deadbolt from my previous lock set. I really like this lock so you could by a deadbolt to fill the second hole and use it for added security at night or when you are out of town for a while.

No. Using it without a deadbolt might even violate your local residential building code for external access doors.I ended up using on the house door leading to the interior garage. For my exterior doors, I used electronic self-locking deadbolts from Schlage.

You are correct. But they function well in either case and I don't find this objectionable, particularly when the doors are not within sight of each other. A round knob or a lever handle that was straight and at a 90 degree angle to the door edge would be the only way to avoid this. Many passage sets for interior doors and locksets for exterior doors have lever handles that curve and point up or point down depending on whether they are installed on a right-hand door or a left-hand door.

Yes you can. You install this to the outside rail then the other door slides right passed it.

YaUs you, the inside lock peice is flush so if you don't want to drill the hole for outside lock it won't be a problem

You will need the door nob lock handle for the other side of the door. They come in two versions: locked or lockable.

Nope. Get a hole saw and bore it out to standard deadbolt size. Most deadbolts soldhave a template included with instructions.

I installed 2 of these on exterior doors and have had no problems with them, I would not purchase these for doors that I use all of the time, they lock each time the door closes making it a pain to use if you go in and out of the door a lot.

It doesn't need to be exterior. Just look for any non-locking door knob. Usually they say "closet" on the package.The only problem you run into with this deadbolt is you can't use them on main entry doors to apartment buildings. You need something that automatically locks when you close the door, and kwikset has yet to implement this lock with their "interconnect" series. It basically does not allow you to just simply carry around your master key. I hope you hear me quickset

Are you referring to just the Tavaris Handle or the deadbolt as well? Yes it can be done. But it would be easiest to do by drilling the full bore holes for both the deadbolt and the tavaris handle/vedani handle as mentioned previously. The bottom hole for the Tavaris Would need to drill all the way through and include the screw cover on the interior. Are you suggesting instead of the full dummy Tavaris (2 half dummy) Tavaris or something else?
